Lieutenant Eve Dallas is one of New York’s finest. She’s a tough-as-nails cop who has no problem dealing with a yuletide reveler who plunges 37 stories, giving new meaning to the term “sidewalk Santa.” But when she sees Trudy Lombard at the station, Eve’s eyes grow wide with fear from a time best forgotten....

Plunged into the past, Eve relives all the nightmares of a nine-year-old trapped in foster care with the twisted woman who now sits before her. Smiling, Trudy swears she just wants to see how her former ward is doing, but Eve’s husband Roarke knows better. His suspicions ring true when Trudy tries to blackmail Eve by demanding a large sum of cash in exchange for keeping secret the sordid details of her childhood. Though unashamedly relieved when Trudy turns up dead a few days later, Eve is determined to solve the case, both out of curiosity and for the sake of the woman’s grieving son. When evidence proves Eve was not the only child who suffered at Trudy’s hands, she and Roarke must follow a circuitous and dangerous path to find out who turned this horrid victimizer into a victim. Explicit sex, violence and language.
